As of two days ago the CEO of Netflix stated that they are currently concentrating on their bigscreen (television) stuff right now and will look into mobile stuff later.

They are doing themselves a dis-service. I would pay twice as much for my Netflix account if I was able to instantly watch any of their current instant play movies on my blackberry. Currently I have to be content with loading a DVD on my laptop via BB app "DVD To Go" and then putting it on my phone.

i'm talking to mods on the other blackberry forum, and not this forum. i will never return to the other forum w/ mods full of themselves.

Dunno what Netflix is planning, but best app so far is In2Flick

Not sure what plans Netflix has up its sleeve, but I use the In2Flick app to watch movie previews of my recommendations list on my blackberry. Very cool.
I choose the In2Flick app over the Movela app any day.

If netflix had this app for bb, it would b a def +, I already stream movies thru my wii and it would be great 2 do it thru my phone as well.seems like bb's lack a lot n the apps department.I love my bb bt its days mite b numbered...

I wouldn't expect a Netflix app anytime soon.

Look how long it took them to get an app for the iphone. I recently switched to Blackberry from Apple and love my phone now but it is just not made for movie watching. If you need to watch movies on a small screen I suggest getting a DVD to Blackberry converter and a 16gb storage card. Or get a iphone or ipod touch (with wifi) with the Netflix app and/or the Justin.tv app. Though from my experience after getting conversion software and streaming apps I hardly ever watched movies on a four inch screen.

Streaming video for an hour or so is going to kill your battery really quick, not counting the small screen.

If i'm near a place where I can charge the phone anyways + wifi, then I'm near a PC or laptop or my PS3. So there's no upside...

To each their own, but this view isn't shared by everyone. There will always be places where people crave portable entertainment- the bus, train, waiting at the DMV, doctor's offices, etc. Most importantly, the ability to enjoy streaming media on demand is most important for those times you don't plan on needing it, or can't bring a laptop or portable DVD player with you. I know a few Yesterberry enthusiasts who use it mostly in the office at work.

I think Netflix would be a great asset to the BlackBerry line. Whether your eyes can take watching a 2" screen for an hour or not, obviously others are willing to pay handsomely for the ability to do so.

I doubt they'll make one. Two reasons. It would be pretty close to a nightmare to write one. And the fact that BB has streaming media codec issues from OS release to release.

Look at how long we've been waiting for Sling to come to BB and we got a half-baked pos release that can't even run in native mode on the Storms or Torches. Meanwhile WindowsPhone7 has a SlingBox version released before there's even more then a couple of handsets on the market. What does this tell you?

I would just be happy with a free app to let me manage my instant queue from my bb....I have two blu-ray players that are NetFlix enabled, and they work great, but they have no way to search for a movie unless NetFlix suggests it to you (unlike the Wii and other netflix-ready devices) and the mobile version of their website only let's you manage you mailout queue.

If anyone knows of a free app just to manage the instant queue, please let me know.
